Objective To explore the features of gallbladder adenomyoma in sonogram, and improve the abilities of diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Method Sonograms of 8 patients with proven gallbladder adenomyoma were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathologic findings. Results Eight patients had sonographic evidence of localized intramural nodular,which were round-like and hypoechoic,with anechoic space and tiny bright echos, confined almost exclusively to the fundus of gallbladder. Five patients were also evident with associated gallstones and chronic cholecytitis. Conclusion Sonograms of gallbladder adenomyoma have marked features, which can be differentially diagnosed from other projective lesions of gallbladder.

Objective To explore the effects of cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 preconditioning on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Methods A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats was randomly divided into four groups (n =8):sham group,control group,dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) group which was given intraperitoneally DMSO 0.3 ml 30 min before ischemia reperfusion,and WIN group which was given intraperitoneally WIN55,212-2 1 mg/kg 30 min before ischemia reperfusion.Each rat was neurologically assessed at 24 h and 48 h after reperfusion by Tarlov scale,and the number of normal motor neurons at anterior horn of the spinal cord was recorded.Res uits The Tarlov scale of WIN group was significantly higher than that control and DMSO groups (P ＜ 0.05).There were more normal motor neurons at anterior horn of the spinal cord in WIN group than those in control and DMSO groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 preconditioning might attenuate spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of different administration time of ibuprofen on the changing characteristics of circadian rhythm about body temperature and plasma concentration in rats.METHODS:60 rats were given single oral administration of ibuprofen at the dose of 50 mg per kilogram at different time(2∶00,6∶00,10∶00,14∶00,18∶00,22∶00) according to a randomized block design with another 10 rats serving as blank control.The effects of ibuprofen on circadian rhythm variations of body temperature and plasma concentration in rats were observed and analyzed using chronogram and cosine method.RESULTS:The body temperature of rats prior to and after administration both showed a significant circadian rhythm,with mean declined only,yet acrophase and amplitude showed no significant differences.The best cosinor curve equation were Yt i=38.7+0.52 Cos(15??ti—86.80?) and Yt i=37.8+0.55 Cos(15??ti—117?) respectively.The plasma concentration also showed a significant circadian change in rats at the different time points of administration.The plasma concentration in light phase was higher than that in dark phase,and the best cosinor curve equation was Yt i=41.95+5.30 Cos(15??ti—272.83?).CONCLUSION:The differences of circadian rhythm were both shown about body temperature and plasma concentration in rats when ibuprofen was orally administered at the different time points.

Objective To investigate the effects of the combination of tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) and irbesartan on urinary podocyte in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients,and to discuss the mechanism of protective effect of TwHF on DKD.Methods A total of 45 type 2 diabetic kidney disease patients were enrolled into this prospective study,and were randomly divided into 3 groups:TwHF treatment group (DT,n =15),irbesartan treatment group (DI,n =15),and TwHF combined with irbesartan treatment group (DTI,n =15).After 6 weeks washout,the 3 groups were given TwHF (1-2 mg · kg-1 ·d-1),irbesartan (150-300 mg/d),and TwHF (1-2 mg · kg-1 · d-1) combined with irbesartan (150-300 mg/d) for 12 weeks respectively.Fifteen healthy volunteers served as controls.Urinary podocytes were identified and quantitated by immunofluorescence staining of urinary sediments labeled by monoclonal antibody podocalyxin.In addition,we studied urinary connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),osteopontin (OPN) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) concentrations in DKD patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Urinary detached podocytes were obviously higher in the urine of DKD patients than in healthy controls (P ＜0.01).Podocyte detection rate was 86.6％ in the urine of DKD patients.The protein expressions of CTGF,OPN and TGFβ1 in patients with urinary podocyte were significantly increased than those without urinary podocyte (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Correlation analysis showed that there was positive correlation between urinary protein excretion and urinary podocytes (r =0.79,P ＜ 0.01) and there were positive correlations between the number of urinary podocytes and urinary protein expressions of CTGF,OPN and TGFβ1 (r =0.56,0.41,0.44,respectively,all P values ＜ 0.01).Urinary albumin excretion and urinary podocytes were significantly decreased in all treatment groups (P ＜ 0.01),simultaneously,urinary concentrations of CTGF,OPN and TGFβ1 were reduced in all groups at week 12 after intervention of TwHF,irbesartan and TwHF combined with irbesartan (P ＜ 0.01),and these changes were more distinguished in combined treatment group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Urinary podocyte in the urine may be suggested to be an early effective marker of disease activity in DKD.TwHF may be effective to prevent podocyte injury in DKD,which may be mediated,at least partly,by down-regulating the expression of CTGF,OPN and TGFβ1.There is a synergistic protective effect of TwHF combined with irbesartan on podocyte injury in DKD patients.

Objective To assess the value of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound technique combined with hemorheology in detecting early atherosclerosis and monitoring its progression.Methods Twenty-four white big ear rabbits were divided into two groups randomly.Group A (6 rabbits) was fed normal rabbit chow,while group B (18 rabbits) was fed high cholesterol diet and was divided into three subgroups: B1(6 rabbits) with high cholesterol diet for 4 weeks,B2(6 rabbits) for 8 weeks,B3(6 rabbits) for 12 weeks.Intima-media thickness (IMT),diameter of common carotid artery and hemorheology index were observed dynamically and compared with the findings of histological examination.Results IMT of common carotid artery increased gradually in group B at different phases of atherosclerosis.Diameter compensationally enlarged at the early stage,and then stenosed with the progression of atherosclerosis.RBC deformation index of group B began reducing in the second week,but blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,RBC aggregation index and rigidity index gradually increased from the fourth week( P

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)is a common optic neuropathy seriously affecting the visual function in the middle-aged and elderly population.However,its pathogenesis is not completely clear,and therefore its treating efficacy is dissatisfactory.The current study on NAION is focused on the establishment of suitable animal model and the pathogenesis.In recent years,the relatively ideal animal models(including rodent and primate) have been established by photodynamic methods,which make people have more in-depth understanding on the pathophysiologic mechanism of NAION and lay the basis for the research of therapies.The selection of experimental animals,various induction methods and existing problems in the creation of NAION animal model were reviewed and analyzed in this artical.
